Death Of E1.viee rresiAeri Wheeler.

Ex-Vice President William A. Wheeler
died on the 1th at his home, Malone, n. Y.
Mr. Wheeler whose vitality had been de-
creaSiug slowly through the past six years,
retained his usual vigor up to perhaps six
months ago. From that date he failed
rapidly. He was tortured terribly by in.
somnia and neuralgia and was also al
hicted with catarrh OF the bladder. He
never fully rallied from the attack and
mind and body wasted away together
Mr.. Wheeler was born at Malone, n. T.,
June 30, 1919. which would make him al
most 6S years OF age at the time OF his
death. He was afforded 0n academic edu-
cation. Aiterward he spent year or
more as a student in the University OF
Vermont with the class OF 1912. His nat
ural bent was in the direction Of law, and
after two or three years OF study in this
branch he began practice. He attained
distinction in this calling, and was elected
district attorney OF Franklin county, for
several successive terms. He was a mem
ser OF the New York assembly in 1850
and 1851. He was member OF the New
York senate and president pro tenn. OF the
same in SJS and 1859. He was q dele.
gate to the New York constitution conven-
tiOn in lS67-'6S, and was elected presi-
dent OF that body. He served in the Thirty
seventh, Forty first, Forty second, Forty.
third and FOrty-iourth congresses. In
1876 he was nominated for vice president
by the Republican national convention up
on the ticket, the head OF which was Ruth
erford B. Hayes. Through all the contest
which followed that memorable election
Mr.. Wheeler bore himself with dignity. Up
on the close Of his term as vice president
he retired from public life to his home at
Malone, N. Y. He has since suffered do
mestic bereayements, and passed the last
years OF his life in sorrow, loneliness and
frequent ill health.

Yankton Insane Asylum Scandal.

Special from YanktOn: The investiga-
ton OF the trustees OF the insane asylum
has been concluded, and Examiner Harris
and Attorney General Templeton have
gone to Bismarck to report to Gov. Church.
The facts developed by the examination
are about as follows: At the close OF the
last fiscal year last fall the board made
report through it's officers, which has
been taken as the starting point for the
investigation. 1t has been developed
through the examination that the trustees
took the disbursement OF certain funds.
notably the fuel and Improvement funds,
out Of the hands OF the steward, the legal
disbursing officer. Thus they added to
their duties as an advisory body the WORK
Of active managers and paymasters
for material and labor. To render
their operations practicable, a long
sn1 's OF Of vouchers $50 sS0yS5ins c66s the
made payable to the old secretary, Mr..
Colby. One of the items so disbursed by
the secretary was the sum OF over $12, 900
for coal as shown by the report to the
governor. Mr.. Colby on the witness stand
admitted that 50 large an amount had not
been expended for coal. Three thousand
and some dollars OF the sum, he said, had
been given for improvements. The whole
amount had been charged to the fuel
IunQ IOr convenience or some OGher reason.
But he was sure that the money had all
gone into the asylum somewhere. He
could not in the first instance tell exactly
what it had been spent for. He kept mem
oranda while in Office, but destroyed them
when he retired to private life as useless
impediments. Later he remembered that
the money had been used for Ger.
tain improvements that he specified. But
unfortunately these improvements we've
mentioned in the official report as paid
from other funds, and appeared there as
expenditures over and above the sum spent
for fuel. The steward OF the asylum, Mr..
Potter, gave the most damaging testi-
mony against the trustees. He said that
an expenditure to the amount OF over
$20,0 as per the trustees vouchers, had
been interpolated into his official report
toethe governor. He did not know that
they were included in his report until he
saw the report in print.

The young fellows are beginning TO
take hold OF the political reins in the
South. In Florida, for example, L. S.
Senator-elect Pasco, aged forty, Is
succeeded as speaker OF the house Of
representatives by Mr. Lamar, aged
thirty. In West Virginia, Senator
Kenna and Senator-elect Faulkner are
about forty. The young men are
more progressive than their fathers.
They have not so many sour old
memories to make them unhappy and
spoil their usefulness.

A writer in The Hour reasons that
while there will probably be a reaction
after the real estate boom in this
country has reached it's climax, the
future tendency OF prices will be high
er. This will be owing to the rapid
increase of population, doubling itself
every quarter OF d century, and reach
ING at this ratio a hundred millions of
people in 1905, with every bit of
habitable land settled. Thus it ap-
pears that while feverish excitements
are likely to be followed With depres-
sions, the prophecies of real estate
disasters in the near future are with
out much warrant.

Michael Davltt Takes a Biz Step in Advance.

London Letter: Michael Davitt's re
markable declaration ut BoGyke was most
unfortunate for the Parnellite party and
himself. Mr.. Davitt accused hims%i1 OF
having weakened the defense OF the mn OF
Ireland Of their rights and their hearths
by urging them to abstain from commit
ting acts Of violence and TO refrain from
breaking the law. and said:
lie was heartily ashamed OF himself Tor
rv"r having given such @dvice. He had
luuud that he was mistaken in suppOsing
that the submission OF the people OF Ire
land to gross iuust tiCe would win for them
the sympathies OF the people OF Great
Britain, and hencerorthn no word OF CGusure
would ever fall from his lips against Irish
men who defended their homes at the risk Of
life "Ifthe advice OfJo Mitchell shOuld
be taken," he said, "every Irish homes tead
would have been made fortress TO defend
the rights OF its occupants, and you would
have made greater progress and won great
er privileges than by following the same
ad vice Of submission"
This utteraDce of a man dear to tho
hearts OF every Irishman is on every ones
lips, and is stirring the blood Of Ireland as
nothing else could. Mr.. Davitt's whole
speech comedies with the sentiments Ot the
people, who, under the circumstances OF
increas ng eviction and impending coercion
with its attendant indignities and cruel
ties, are surcharged with rage and ripe for
an outbreak. and the speaker s defiant
challenge TO the government to arrest him
for sedition will, if por0itted to pass un-
noticed, intensity the effect OF his speech
and greatly intensity the danger OF revolt.

This Is an off yearin politics. Near
ly all the states are holding off and
saving their political sinews for the
great contest of next year, The most
important election of 1887 will be
held in New York next fall 1t is only
for the choice of a legislature and
state officers below lieutenant-gover-
nor. The actual result OF the election
will not, therefore, have any consider
able influence on the country at large,
but it will be warmly contested be-
cause Of what it will signify concerning
the probabilities of 1883.

A Fishery Dispute Nearly Settled.

A gc! tIeman who holds close personal
relations to Secretary Bayard says;
All the pc: ITS at issue in the fisheries
dispute have now been settled satisfactor-
lily with one exception, and this it is con-
Gdeutly hoped will also be settled in a
comparatively short time. The point up
on which Secretary Bayard is now resting
is that American fishing vessels shall be
permitted to touch at Canadian reports to
ship crews and purchase bait, and for any
other purpose, but not to fish within the
three mile limit. Lord Salisbury so far
has only conceded the right to put in for
wood, water, supplies and repairs. Prob
ably there will be some compromise on
these points.

Protests Against Exorbftant Freight Rates,

Several petitions have been presented to
the Minnesota railroad commission agent,
exorbitant freight charges the first OF these
was filed by Senator e. NJ. Pope OF Man
kato and was from the Business Mems As
sociation Of Minnesota. The second
was filed by w. II. Kelly. OF
Owatonna for the Boards OF Trade
Union of Owatonna, Faribault, Dundas,
Mortified and Pennington
The 0watonnas protest that theMilwau-
kee corporation is and has been charging
from eight to ten times as much per ton
per mile for carrying wheat from said cit
les and towns to st. Paul as is charged for
carrying wheat from St. Paul to Chicago.
Senator Pope's petition is based on
complaints against excessive freight charg
IS ON the general local tariffs
Railroad Commissioner Gibbs said of
these petitions:
The commission has received two OF
these, but. under the law, before consider
ing them must send copies to the Milwau-
kee road and give it twenty days in which
to prepare for hearing. This will be
done. After that time has elapsed
the hearing will be had. The bottom fact
in the railroad business OF this state is that
in st. Paul and Minneapolis is one city OF
$50, 900 population. The railroads must
recognize that they have become a great
trade center, and rates into St. Paul must
be the same per ton per mile as out Of st.
Paul There is no reason why railroad
should charge more from Albert Lea to
Waseca than it does from Waseca TO Al
bert Lea. The city and county are united
on this Issue. The railroad theory that
we must pay tribute TO Chicago must be
abandoned. The trade center is here.
